Listed are four situations you may experience with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the
fuel
pump shuts off before the
gage
reads full.
0
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
fuel
gage indicated.
For
example, the gage may have indicated the tank was
half
full, but it
actually took
a
little
more
or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the
tank.
0
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner
or
speed up.
0
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn
off
the ignition.
None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel
gage.

Temperature
Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If
the gage pointer moves
into the red area, your engine
is
too hot! It means that your engine coolant
has overheated. If
you
have been operating your vehicle under normal
operating conditions,
you
should pull off the road, stop your vehicle, and
turn
off
the engine as soon as possible.
Hot Coolant Can
Burn
You
Badly!
In
“Problems on the Road,” this manual shows what
to
do. See “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.
